Why does some tea taste smooth and others taste burnt?
Getting into oolong tea but have no idea how to pick a good one, everything claims to be premium and I can't tell what's real. I've been trying to get more into oolong because I keep seeing it come up for digestion, energy and just feeling better day to day. Decided to commit to it but then realized that I have absolutely no idea how to pick a good one.
When I started searching online it got overwhelming fast. Some teas are whole leaves, some look completely crushed, some are dirt cheap, others are weirdly expensive and every single website is calling theirs premium. I can't tell what's quality and what's just good marketing. I'd rather spend a little more on something worth drinking than end up with something that tastes burnt or bitter and puts me off the whole thing before I even give it a real chance.
